Furniture designer gets comfy at Resnick's 315 Hudson St.

PBS Realty Advisors, LLC announced that furniture designer George Smith has signed a multi-year lease agreement for 12,881 s/f of space at 315 Hudson Street, a Jack Resnick & Sons property.

George Smith will relocate from 73 Spring Street to a space more than double its size. In its new location, on the corner of Hudson Street and Spring Street, the furniture designer will occupy 5,881 s/f of space on the ground floor, and 7,000 s/f on the lower level.

PBS Realty Principal John Brod, along with Robert Neborak, represented George Smith in the transaction. John Pavone of Jack Resnick & Sons represented 315 Hudson Street.

"We were pleased to help George Smith find the right location to expand its retail presence in New York City," said John Brod of PBS Realty Advisors.

"The area around Hudson and Spring Streets continues to emerge as an important residential market, driving a strong demand for a furniture store like George Smith."

In 2005, PBS Realty represented George Smith in the disposition of its former space at 75 Spring Street and its consolidation into the adjoining building at 73 Spring Street.

75 Spring Street was relet to Sur La Table, the Seattle-based retailer of professional culinary supplies; PBS Realty is the exclusive leasing agent for Greystone Management Corp., which owns 75 Spring Street.
